Fahrenheit-182

A Memoir

De: Mark Hoppus, Dan Ozzi - contributor

Narrado por: Mark Hoppus

A smart, funny, and refreshingly candid memoir from Mark Hoppus, the vocalist, bassist, and founding member of pop-punk band blink-182. Narrated in his own voice, the audiobook offers an intimate and immersive experience that fans won’t want to miss.

This is the story of an angst-filled kid from the desert, navigating the chaos of his parents' bitter divorce and searching for his place in the world. Each move across the country was a chance to reinvent himself, switching identities from dork to goth to skate punk, and eventually meeting his best friend who just so happens to be his musical soulmate.

With sharp humor and raw honesty, Fahrenheit-182 takes listeners through Mark's formative years as a latchkey kid in the 1980s, hooked on punk rock, skateboards, and MTV. Along the way, Mark reflects on his lifelong battle with anxiety, his celebrated career with blink-182, and his public fight with cancer, in a voice that’s both relatable and unmistakably his own.

Threaded with heartfelt grit, Fahrenheit-182 is more than just a memoir for blink-182 fans. It’s a funny, smart, and deeply human story for anyone who’s struggled, reinvented themselves, wanted to quit but kept going.

Roller Coaster of Emotion

I recently lost my grandmother (3/31/2025) I needed something to detracted me from funeral arranging. This book came out at the a perfect time. I laughed and cried through the entire book. Thank you Mark for sharing.

Not a pop punk memoir making me cry…

man. so good, so fun, honest, and raw. and tears from a guy who’s publishing company is called “stupid idiot productions” 😂

I’m pretty sure it’s “Snorlaxen”, Mark.

Just finished it, and listening to the story of one of the bands that shaped my music taste growing up was special. It makes you realize that everyone is just a person trying to chase what they love in life. It’s validating hearing the very human experience of Mark Hoppus and his struggles and successes. I loved it!

BLINK-182 FOREVER!!!

BLINK-182 FOREVER!!! Mark, thank you for fighting and staying string, you are an inspiration and hero to us all!

Honest, Emotional, and Worth the Listen

Fahrenheit-182 was raw, real, and kept me hooked the whole way through. I’ve never been a hardcore blink-182 fan, more of a casual listener over the years, but hearing Mark open up about the early days of blink and his rocky relationship with Tom was super interesting.

What really hit me were the chapters about his cancer. My wife was recently diagnosed, and the way Mark talked about chemo and everything that comes with it was spot on. It was honest, emotional, and didn’t shy away from the tough stuff. Loved that and it even made me tear up a few times.

My only real gripes were that some chapters felt a little rushed, especially around big blink moments like the second reunion, Skiba albums, and Tom’s second return. I would’ve loved more stories of what it was like recording albums, writing songs, all that but I get that not everyone wants that deep dive. Also, the writing was a bit all over the place at times. Listening to Mark narrate helped smooth that out, but I could see it being harder to follow in print.

Still, it’s a solid read (or listen) and definitely worth checking out, whether you’re a longtime fan or just someone who’s had blink’s songs on your playlists over the years.

Comprehensive story of Marks Life the ups and the downs!

I loved this book so much. Fun to get to know Mark on a deeper level. The part I enjoyed most was hearing about the come up of blink and all that came with it!

Love it

I’m ready for Tom to write his book by himself and not whatever books he makes

Blink and You’ll Miss it

First off, I’ll start with this: Mark narrates with a droll monotone that is occasionally peppered with emotion, and it totally works. I’m almost Forty and I’ve been a Blink fan since Enema of the State first released. I’ve never been fortunate enough to see them in concert, and with how insanely expensive concert tickets are these days (a ticket to see Blink, at actual face value, for a really good view of the stage is about $700!) I’ll probably only see them in countless YouTube videos.

I didn’t even know this book existed until right after it debuted, and I immediately added it to my Audible library and enjoyed every minute of it. From snippets of his childhood to first meeting Tom and forming Blink, all the way up to, and through, his Cancer battle, this memoir is a nice little peek into Mark’s life. My one major disappointment with it was when it ended.

The origin story

The origin story was not what I expected. Mark is much more interesting than I thought.

a musical tale of incredible highs and hopeless lows

I was filled with joy being able to listen to a whirlwind of a life filled with music, bromance, success, and incredible sadness. The autobiography fills you in on so much history for Mark Hoppus and Blink 182. Truly an amazing listening experience.
